No.
Harnett County Board of Commissioners
Minutes of Regular Meeting, December 7, 2010
Page 8 of 13
3. Why were the other two tracts purchased before there was an option granted on
the third tract?
The other two tracts were not purchased at the same time. All three were under
negotiation and finalized at various times.
4. If the third tract was intended for the safety of the children, why was it not
bought at the same time as the two other tracts?
We could not agree upon a price with the seller.
5. Was the third tract ever perk tested?
No. The County informed us that they were putting in a sewer line and there was no
need to proceed with perk testing.
6. When was the decision made to construct a sewer line to the school?
During a meeting in August 2008, we were informed that the County had decided to
construct a sewer line for this area. This was during the preliminary analysis and
design stage and eliminated the need for on -site septic system.
7. Was there ever a cost analysis performed on an on -site septic system?
No. Once the County made the decision to install a sewer line there was no need in
spending the money and time to proceed with a cost analysis.
8. Was the third tract initially intended to be for an on -site septic system?
No.
9. Are there any federal or state monies used in the Boone Trail School project?
Yes. State ADM monies were used in the purchasing of land and the payment of
design fees. Bond proceeds (COPS money) were used to reimburse the State for
design fee expense and COPS money was initially earmarked for reimbursement to
the State for land purchases. Funds were sent to the State for reimbursement;
however, the monies were credited toward design fees and land purchasing.
10. Why has the report about reporting the use of state monies not been filed?
The State report is due sixty days after the completion of the project. The project is
scheduled to be completed in July 2010 at which time the report will be filed.
11. Who was involved in the negotiation of the third tract?
Phil Ferrell
12. Was there an appraisal performed on the third tract?
No.
13. Was obtaining an easement on the third tract for a driveway ever discussed as
an alternative to purchasing the entire tract?
No.

Ms. Cindy Milton, Interim Director of Social Services, presented the Child Support Enforcement
Transition Plan for consideration. In the 2009 Appropriations Act, the NC General Assembly

administered would become administered by local government effective July 1, 2010. Ms.
Milton offered four options available for administering this program in Harnett County as
1) Department of Social Services (in- house), 2) Stand Alone County Agency, 3) Private
Company Contract and 4) Regional Agency. Ms. Milton noted that a transition plan is due to the
NC Division of Social Services by January 1, 2010.

Page 10 of 13
In regards to the program being administered by the Department of Social Services, Ms. Milton
said this seems like a natural fit as the NC Department of Social Services is designated to
supervise the NC program, this would allow for close coordination of related programs, it would
allow for maximization of allowable indirect costs. She also mentioned if this option was
selected, funds would need to be allocated for a part -time Project Manager to assist with program
transition.
Ms. Joyce Hall, Child Support Supervision, spoke in support of the Department of Social
Services operated organizational model for the County's Child Support Program.

WHEREAS, N. C. General Statutes, Section 115C -426 requires that County

the Harnett County Commissioners approved the purchase of the Brown and Patterson tracts
on September 17, 2007; and the County Commissioners have not approved the purchase of
the Bland tract; and
WHEREAS, the BOE and the County Commissioners jointly sought the approval of
the Local Government Commission with respect to the financing of the new Boone Trail
Elementary project; passed resolutions and entered into agreements to facilitate the financing
of the project; and worked closely on this project before, during, and after the purchase of the
tracts; and
WHEREAS, the BOE obtained the approval of the County Planning Board to
recombine the three tracts; caused a Boundary and Recombination Map to be filed in the
Office of the Register of Deeds; transferred the recombined tract to the County of Harnett by
deed; and, pursuant to the Lease and Agency Agreements entered into by the two Boards,
began construction of the new Boone Trail Elementary School and said construction is
currently ongoing; and
WHEREAS, the BOE on December 1, 2009, unanimously adopted a resolution
entitled "Resolution Asking the Harnett County Board of Commissioners to Ratify the
Purchase of the New Boone Trail Elementary Tracts" which was forwarded to the Harnett
County Board of Commissioners for its consideration; that on said resolution request, the
BOE found that it purchased all three tracts for a fair price, following proper and arms- length
negotiations with the respective sellers and that the BOE purchased all three tracts with funds
budgeted for capital expenses in the year of purchase; that the BOE further stated that it had
inadvertently failed to bring the purchase of the Bland tract to the County Commissioners for
its approval, and the BOE further noted that when the other two school site tract purchases
were approved by the County Commissioners on September 17, 2007, that the minutes of the
Commissioners' meeting did not include the purchase price of said tracts. That the BOE has
requested that the Harnett County Board of Commissioners ratify and approve the purchase
of all three real property tracts that constitute the new Boone Trail Elementary School site.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that based upon the resolution request of
the Harnett County Board of Education and pursuant to N. C. General Statutes, Section
